Standing: Start in wide legged standing position. Bring hands over head and interlace fingers. Take an in-breath. On out breath, swing arms down as you bend the knees, swinging hands between legs and breathing out explosively. Breath in. Return to standing position. Squatting: start in a wide legged squatting position. Raise and lower arms as in standing.
Helps with emotional issues (releases negative energy and facilitates energy distribution). Loosens pelvic, shoulder blade and back muscles.
Keep gaze on your palms.
Only recommended if squat is stable with heels on the floor.
